Dramatic Writing
Offered in:
SAVANNAH

Welcome

Dramatic writers apply their craft within the context of both theater and filmmaking. They understand the fundamentals of both disciplines and participate as active members of a creative team, contributing to the needs of all departments before the words “FADE IN:” appear on the page.

At SCAD, writers have virtually limitless opportunities to work closely with actors, directors, designers and technicians, not only through thesis projects, but also through class assignments.

Students create a portfolio of work designed to help them gain entry to the world of the professional writer. Through required courses and electives, students write screenplays for short films, features and television, as well as one-act and full-length stage plays.

At the Savannah Film Festival, writers may network with filmmakers, studio and development executives, entertainment lawyers and agents, casting directors and producers, gaining practical understanding of the marketplace.
